Solo Guitar Performance at My Cellar Wine Bar Colorado Springs, CO on 11/1/2024

Wonderful guitar and vocals!  Michael played in our wine bar as part of our First Friday Artwalk event. Our guests loved his music, which was a mix of guitar and vocals and a mix of genres. He played for three hours without taking a break! We will definitely invite him back.
-Sheryl M.

Wedding performance at Villa Parker in Parker, CO on 10/18/2024

Michael is a professor of music at the University of Colorado Denver, a professional guitarist and bagpiper, AND a DJ! The man does it all. We had him play guitar for our ceremony and then he flawlessly transitioned into our DJ for the remainder of the night. It was beautiful and easy. He was SO much fun to work with, and he absolutely cooked- he played exactly what we envisioned. Started off with some of our favorite bands like Cage the Elephant and Portugal the Man during dinner and managed to keep it light and social, moved on to some popular hits by Chappell Roan and T Swift early in the night to get people dancing (and my wife’s favorite artists), and then transitioned into playing absolute DnB bangers that still got many of our non-raver friends dancing! We did not leave the dance floor all night long.

Wedding performance at Blackstone Rivers Ranch in Idaho Springs, CO on 10/3/2024

First and foremost, Michael is a fun guy, and amazing to work with! When we started our search for a DJ, we knew we wanted more than just someone to play the role of a traditional wedding DJ. Seeing Michael's profile popped out immediately being that he is not only a DJ, but a bagpiper and guitarist. Truth be told, he had us as "bagpipes'! During our initial chat with Michael, we could tell that he genuinely cared about making our day special from a musical perspective. The music played at one's wedding is so important, so feeling that authentic energy from Michael really made it an easy decision to select him as our guy for the job! Michael gave us lots of suggestions for music, but more importantly took our playlists and our preferences for music- from the moment guests walked into the ceremony to the last dance- and elevated it all. Michael's bagpipes captivated so many of our guests (and us!) as they started entering the venue in anticipation of the ceremony starting. Simply a beautiful touch to any wedding. We will forever be grateful for the energy, the joy and the attention to detail that Michael brought to our wedding day. If you are looking for someone to create a memorable "soundtrack" for your day, look no further than Michael Lancaster! Thank you Michael!

Wedding performance at The Homestead At Black Canyon Inn, CO on 9/29/2024

Michael was simply amazing. My wedding was so fun and magical thanks to him. Everything we asked him to do was done, my friends requested songs from my childhood and he was happy to do so. Also his MC skills were marvelous he let everybody know what was going on. Love his services 100% recommend.

Wedding performance at The Barn At Evergreen Memorial Park in Evergreen, CO on 9/26/2024

Michael was so helpful with our daughters wedding. I just recently finished the video and got to listen/watch his work many times. He is fantastic. We had him play guitar before and after the ceremony - it was marvelous! He was MC throughout the reception - he was perfect. He was DJ late that night at the dance - and he was amazing! Highly recommended.

Wedding performance at The Millhouse in Castle Rock, CO on 8/1/2024

I can't thank you enough for being such a big part of our wedding and reception!  You really made the evening a hit.  You are the best in the business!  Thank you for walking us through planning the night. We didn't really know what we were doing, or what order to do things in, or even that people do private last dances!  We loved that last dance!  It's been awhile since either of have been to a wedding, so we appreciate all of your input.  The night ran so smoothly.  I know I already mentioned this, but we had several people say to us what an awesome DJ you were, they loved all the music choices and how you had such a great mix.  
-Christine C.

Wedding performance at Younger Ranch in Monument CO on 7/24/2024

We're so glad we went with Michael! He was very communicative leading to the wedding and always had a positive attitude that got us so excited.  He played live music at our ceremony/cocktail hour and he's so talented! Then at the reception he kept the energy going all night long! He played a bunch of songs we requested which was appreciated as well as threw in all the right stuff to keep the energy up. There were a few times during the night we had the entire wedding dancing which was so fun and a testament to his work. He was also really thoughtful about making a few special requests happen and was clearly trying to help make the day musically perfect.  Thank you for being a part of our big day!

We will definitely have him back and look forward to his guitar playing as well!
-Risa N.

Birthday performance at The Irish Rover in Denver, CO on 3/1/2024

Amazing! I booked Michael for my 40th birthday party, didn’t really have a lot of specific requests yet high expectations.. and he delivered! He kept the dance party going the whole night—taking requests while reading the room. When my cake came out, he surprised the guest with a bagpipe entrance! At one point he played a song on the bagpipes accompanying the hip hop song—so cool! I didn’t tell people he was a bagpiper so it was a very memorable moment. He was awesome, don’t hesitate! Funny—I booked him without knowing that he’d done two of my friend’s weddings too—they raved about him too. Thanks Michael!!
-Angie V.

Funeral performance at Cathedral On The Plaza in Santa Fe, NM on 11/16/2023

We can't say enough good things about Mr. Lancaster! Ours was a sad event - my mother's funeral - and he was very patient and kind with my planning process and when the day came put everyone at ease with his personal style and grace. And that's not even mentioning the music which was just beautiful and perfect. Mr. Lancaster played bagpipes for us and guitar a luncheon following the Mass and chose terrific music. We will not soon forget the energy and warmth he helped create for the special occasion. Everyone complimented him, and I would love to hire him again! Although hopefully not for another funeral anytime soon. ;) Thank you Michael!
-Christina B.

Wedding performance at Rag & Bale in Denver, CO on 10/15/2023

Michael was great! Can't thank him enough. He played fantastic music, using our recommended playlists while mixing his own choices. He was a thoughtful MC and helped us with some pretty specific requests to get our family members involved. He was happy to get on a call to talk through the details to make sure we felt confident going into our wedding reception. Many of our guests kept telling us what a great DJ he was! We definitely recommend him. Thanks for everything, Michael!

A wonderful piper and a lovely human being!  Michael Lancaster is a talented piper. He provided the perfect atmosphere for our function. His piping was excellent. He was attentive and helpful, and made a few suggestions that were spot on. I would recommend him highly.
-Heather T.

Wedding performance at Windy Point Campground in Silverthorne, CO on 9/21/2023

Michael was the best decision we could have made for the wedding! His communication was incredible. He helped us think through things that we hadn't even considered and really made the schedule as smooth as could be. He was able to accommodate for our ceremony that did not have a power source. We even had our generator go out during the reception and he didn't hesitate to keep the vibe going. He started up his battery powered speakers and many guests didn't even realize the power was out. Michael was on board with our creative song choices and made them crowd pleasers. Majority of our guests complimented the DJ choice because we had the best dance floor ever. Thank you Michael for everything!!!!!
-Katie O.

Wedding performance at The Lakehouse in Evergreen, CO on 9/5/2023

-Kelsey R.

Wedding performance at Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, CO on 9/4/2023

I’m sure you know how important music is to a party and you crushed it, it was an awesome day!

-Kalynn B.

Funeral performance at Fairmount Cemeter in Denver, CO on 9/1/2023

-Craig C.

Wedding performance at The Rose in Golden, CO on 8/26/2023

Thank you so much for making the day so amazing on Saturday! Everyone was raving about how great the live guitar was and they loved the songs you were playing. And then separately everyone was telling me how perfect the DJ was… no one believed me when I told them that it was all the same person! They were so impressed. The dance floor was busy the whole night and I loved it. Thank you thank you thank you! We had the best time!!!
-Erika W.

Wedding performance at The Boulders in Estes Park, CO on 8/12/2023

Michael is awesome! He's a Rock Star of his own kind! As a wedding planner, he is one of my "go to" people for guitar music and DJ services and I've never had a client unhappy with all that he provides. He's very talented and the hardest worker. Highly recommend!
-Amanda P.

Wedding performance at Willow Ridge in Morrison, CO on 7/31/2023

Amazing DJ! Seriously, top notch and clearly practiced at the wedding chaos! Michael was so impressive and thoughtful. My wedding vibe was not what I thought it would be, having some older guests that may not be so into loud music and dancing BUT that was not at all the case. He had all ages on the dance floor! We had an absolute blast! If you're debating, stop, and just hire Michael. You will be so glad you did!
-Laura M.

Corporate Event at Celtic Tavern in Denver, CO on 7/25/2023

Michael was a double threat at my event. He kept the crowd upbeat and lively with his DJ skills and wowed everyone when he stopped and played the pipes several times throughout the evening. Very personable and professional. I highly recommend.

Wedding performance at Winter Park Mountain Lodge in Winter Park, CO on 6/23/2023

Wedding performance at Calorow Cave in Morrison, CO on 6/10/2023

-Gina C.

Wedding performance at Deer Creek Mountain Camp in Bailey, CO on 6/3/2023

We booked Michael to both DJ and play classical guitar for our wedding. We were blown away with his setup and services. His playing was absolutely beautiful, and everyone commented on what an amazing job he did keeping the energy up for the entire reception. He had a great AV setup for both the ceremony and toasts and made sure that everything ran seamlessly for us. He even surprised us by playing a song that meant the world to my husband and I and having the entire wedding gather around us at the end of the evening - he helped ensure special moments ran smoothly and enhanced every bit of our day. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone. He was just an absolute delight, ball of energy and SUCH a talented musician/MC and DJ!

-Mark C.

Wedding performance at Camp Hale in Vail, CO on 3/18/2023

Michael was awesome and I would recommend him to anybody! He was very easy to work with, flexible and accommodating throughout planning, and he did a great job on our big day! He kindly learned a guitar song for us for a very reasonable fee. I can't recommend the combination of his acoustic guitar and DJ skills enough. Amazing value and awesome to have both skill sets in one person. He also MC'd our event. On the DJ side - he doesn't just press play, he was mixing songs together, doing cool transitions, and helped us have a rocking dance party that our guests still mention to me. 5-stars for sure!
-Andrew S.

Conference at the Denver Convention Center in Denver, CO on 3/19/2023

He really did a great job doing his research to put together a great list of songs to play. I highly recommend Michael.
-Meghan L.

Wedding performance at PPA Events Center in Denver, CO on 1/20/2023

Michael is awesome!! He did an amazing job with assisting in the music at our church ceremony, and then he killed it on the dance floor! Michael is a genuine, hard worker, that anyone can get along with. He helps with the stress and takes care of everything and lets you know everything is going to be great! I have my song request to Michael and I told him I trust him and to read the room, and boy did he do that! There wasn’t one time the dance floor was empty.  Michael MC’d all the breaks party entrances, he knew when to do the speeches, qued the wedding cake, and all the other fun dances. Michael read the energy in the room and kept it. I received various compliments on our DJ and Michael deserves 5 stars. Not only did he DJ the wedding. He played his guitar during cocktail hour, and played some good Italian classics during dinner.  I can not say anything bad about Michael. If you want to have an amazing fun night, choose Michael!!
-Sienna V.

Holiday Party at Summit Event Center in Denver, CO on 12/3/2022

-Alana W.

Wedding performance at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, CO on 11/18/2022

Anyone looking for a great wedding musician, DJ, and MC look no further - Michael Lancaster is your guy! He did an absolutely fantastic job at our wedding. We used his services for mics and speakers during the ceremony, pre-ceremony acoustic guitar, DJing the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner + dancing, lighting of the event space, as well as MCing the entire event. He’s an amazing one man show, putting together everything wonderfully. Michael took the time to meet with us beforehand and gathered lots of information to help make the day flow smoothly. He took into account our personal music preferences and did a great job of creating an awesome mix for the entire event. He even managed to start the dance floor off with a song that was mentioned during our vows, something we hadn’t even asked for but was the absolute perfect fit! We have only good things to say about Michael, and think he would be a great addition to any event!
-Emily S.

Wedding performance at Mount Vernon Country Club in Golden, Co on 11/11/2022

Michael was an integral part of our day and made it so much more memorable than I had anticipated. I received compliments from several guests and the bridal party regarding the blend of music that was curated by Michael. My husband and I heard all of our favorite songs, and I loved the addition of some line dancing and old crooners. For a daytime wedding, we had more guests dance than I had expected, and I loved the music Michael chose to get people moving after a heavy brunch. He was very communicative, calm, and responsive when things came up (as they inevitably do). His sound skills were phenomenal; the ceremony and speeches had excellent quality and zero feedback. All of our interactions leading up to, and on the day of, were warm and comfortable - we were very lucky to have Michael as our DJ!
-Kaitlin L.

Wedding performance at The Rose Event Center in Golden, Co on 10/30/2022

Michael played the bagpipe for my dad's memorial service in October. He did an excellent job and he was easy to work with. I wasn't really sure what we wanted and Michael had some great suggestions. He was professional, on time, affordable and my dad would have loved it.
-Suzette L.

Wedding performance at The Lakehouse in Evergreen, Co on 10/16/2022

Michael was amazing to work with - very responsive and professional! My husband and I are not well versed in song selections, but by giving just a few parameters to Michael, he was able to orchestrate the evening and keep everyone on the dance floor. It was awesome to have live acoustic guitar before and during the ceremony and extremely affordable compared to hiring separate live musicians and a DJ. Michael took song requests and handled all the announcements my mom threw at him last minute. He provided mics and speakers for the outdoor ceremony, and lighting plus all the typical DJ gear for the reception. He was the master of ceremony and took charge to the perfect amount. Do not hesitate to hire Michael for your wedding!
-Kelly D.

We could not recommend Michael enough!
-Matt F.

Wedding performance at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Co on 9/16/2022

Whatever you do, you HAVE to book Michael as your wedding DJ and guitarist. Michael played live guitar for our garden ceremony which was such a beautiful touch. Michael then was DJ for the rest of the night. He made sure that the timeline rolled smoothly. He sends a detailed email to you before the wedding to finalize the type of songs you want for the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception. He followed my list but was also extremely creative and played music along the same lines as what we liked. He also was able to cut and remix our first dance song as well as help my dad with a song he sang to me during his FOB speech. At the end of the night, my husband and I did one last dance just the two of us once everyone left. Michael stayed longer in order to let us have this special moment. He made the wedding so stress-free and we were very grateful for his professionalism and expertise! You will be in great hands with Michael!
-Caitlyn B.

Wedding performance at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Co on 9/1/2022

Michael helped make all of our wedding dreams come true! He was incredibly easy to work with and provided a detailed outline to help us get started. He even serenaded us via Zoom so we could have the full experience. Michael checked off every box on our music wish list. I dreamed of having a guitarist play during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Michael came through and even set up in multiple locations so we could do our first dances in a separate area. Music at dinner was absolutely magical. Michael was also our reception DJ. I was blown away. Every guest was dancing, the song transitions were next level. We were so thrilled. Our music really elevated our event thanks to Michael!

Dedication event at The Davies Library in Deer Trail, Co on 4/12/2022

We recently had a Memorial/Meeting Room Dedication for one of our libraries. Michael showed up early...complete professional...and did a remarkable performance.  Michael played his Bagpipe as the guest arrived outside the library. Then he moved inside the library to play his guitar and he was amazing. He fit in perfectly with the vibe of the event.  THANK YOU for being so very professional, talented, accommodating, and overall, everything we needed and more. I will be hiring Michael again in the future.
-Jan A.

-Jeannette N.

Wedding performance at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Co on 2/12/2022

We chose Michael to DJ our wedding & couldn't have been happier with how he did! He played live music for our ceremony which was outdoors in Feburary in snowy conditions & we loved it. Michael is very responsive, very friendly & he did everything he promised. It's hard to fathom how many moving parts there were, but Michael was great, he got there early & set everything up so all of the transitions were seamless & he was prepared for everything so he didn't have to hassle us on our special day. Thanks so much Michael & if you're considering him, just make it happen, you won't regret it!

-Stephanie C.

Wedding performance at The Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver, Co on 12/29/2021

My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ! As a music teacher, I know that I was needier than a normal customer!  Our ceremony required live and canned music and Michael wove those together beautifully.  For our cocktail hour, we asked him to play live acoustic guitar. His talent seriously elevated that event!  For our reception, I can tell you in complete honesty that our dance floor never lulled! Michael even suggested a change to the evening's order that kept things moving with a much better flow.  People are still talking about our dance floor!  In short, Michael was everything you could ask for in a DJ.  He was super easy to work with from the first interview to the end of the night.  He is clearly an expert and yet charges a very reasonable rate.  Michael was supportive and helped us problem solve as our bridal party shifted at the last minute due to Covid.  I really appreciated him and recommend him without reservation!

Michael was phenomenal to work with for our wedding! He provided guitar, bagpipes and DJ services to help make our day super unique and special. We heard countless rave reviews from our guests about how much they loved the music all night! Michael is incredibly talented and was able to keep the dance floor busy all night and successfully created a fun, upbeat atmosphere for guests of all ages.

Wedding performance at a private estate in Monument, Co on 9/29/2021

Michael quickly responded to every email during the planning process. He guided us with suggestions for songs to use at various times through the ceremony, reception and dinner. He arrived on time and accommodated our every whim. He played guitar before and during the ceremony, DJ music during cocktail hour and dining, and closed the night with the bagpipes. I could not have been more pleased with his professionalism and performance. I would highly recommend Michael and would not hesitate to use him in the future.
-Karen M.

Wedding performance at Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison, Co on 9/25/2021

Michael was an amazing DJ/guitar player/MC for our wedding night. He had the best attitude, kept the crowd and myself on the dance floor all night, played acoustic guitar for our ceremony, and sang/played for our first dance. He made it so special! We are lucky to have found him for our wedding and would highly recommend him!
-Becca D.

Wedding performance at O'Connor Pavillion in Estes Park, Co on 9/11/2021

BRIDES, LOOK NO FURTHER!! Michael is an absolute god send, I cannot imagine what my wedding would have been like without him. Michael was great on the phone with us leading up; the day of, he arrived early and provided all of his own equipment at no extra cost (!!!). After some beautiful acoustic guitar, Michael switched over to bagpipes once we said "I do". Huge crowd pleaser. Later he played guitar during cocktail hour, then lit up the venue and got the dancing going...I can't even list all of the things that I he did. And of this was at a very reasonable rate. Our wedding coordinator moved right before the wedding which made this a little chaotic. Michael went above and beyond by working with our photographer, reading the crowd, and kept things right on schedule. Michael, thank you thank you thank you!!!
-Noelle M.

Wedding performance at Raindance in Windsor, Co on 8/28/2021

10/10 recommend hiring Michael for your event! I recently hired him to DJ my wedding and could not be more pleased with his services. From the start, Michael made the planning process simple and easy for us. He was quick to respond and always had a “can do” attitude. He really understood the vibe we wanted, and picked all the right songs to match to keep the dance floor going all night long! Thank you Michael!
-Aly Y.

Wedding performance at Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison, Co on 8/12/2021

He is a talented musician! Michael is very experienced and organized, he made the musical process smooth...not one hiccup! He listened to what the bride and groomed wanted and had wonderful suggestions. We are very impressed! Our wedding was held at Willow Ridge Manor, a gorgeous and in-demand venue. Michael is on the the venue's well vetted preferred vendor list. Thank you Michael!
-Margaret M.

Wedding performance at City Park Pavilion in Denver, Co on 8/9/2021

We booked Michael with only a couple of weeks before the big day. I had no capacity to give a whole lot of direction. He took the short paragraph I wrote about my husband and I...plus a handful of songs on a playlist and made a memorable night. I really appreciated how comfortable he was in his work and we even received compliments from the bartenders about the music.

Wedding performance at Della Terra in Estes Park, Co on 7/24/2021

Michael we wanted to thank you for DJing our wedding on Sunday. You have been so accommodating and helpful over the last two years and have made the planning and execution of our wedding so much easier than we could have hoped for. You were so personable and easy to work with and DJ'ed exactly how we were hoping for with very little direction. We've lost count of "best/most fun wedding ever" compliments we've received and the music and dancing was a big part of that. One of my friends was having so much fun and dancing so hard, that he split his pants and just kept on dancing, only to split them more only to keep on dancing. It was a vicious cycle of pants-splitting for him, but I must imagine the ultimate compliment to a DJ. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for being so enjoyable to work with, we could not be more complimentary. If you need anything from us (besides the positive reviews that will be posted in the coming days), please let us know.
-Mark F.

Wedding performance at Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, Co on 7/19/2021

My husband and I hired Michael for our small, mountain wedding ceremony. Michael played guitar for the ceremony, provided microphones, and was the dj/MC for our reception dinner.

He made all of those logistics from set up to ceremony and reception run smoothly. I highly highly recommend Michael for your next event!

His selections of music was great for our reception that got the guests dancing even at a brunch wedding. He made it so much fun ! His guitar playing was remarkable for the ceremony.

-Karen A.

Wedding performance at The Landing in Estes Park, Co on 4/24/2021

Michael created a delightful celebration for my daughter's birthday.  We are in Pennsylvania and we wanted to celebrate somehow with her on a Facetime call, so we orchestrated timing with Michael so we could enjoy her tears of joy when she heard the pipes.  Our daughter felt so special being celebrated this way.  Michael plays perfectly, has great stories, and a solid demeanor.  Thanks so much!!!

-Keith M.

Wedding performance at Morrison Historic Church in Morrison, Co on 10/23/2020

Michael Lancaster was a pleasure to work with from the start. He was always quick to respond over email and very easy to communicate with. He was extremely flexible to change plans and even dates with us, since we got married during Covid-19 and our wedding plans had lots of changes. We ended up only using his services for our ceremony, as the reception was cancelled due to restrictions in place. He had great suggestions for the ceremony flow and was willing to do whatever we wanted to make the day extra special. He played guitar for us and it was beautiful! We are so pleased with his services and we wouldn’t of wanted anyone else to provide music for our special day!
-Katie R.

Michael played the part in every way. His willingness to step outside the norm to help us bring joy to a friend and his insights on how we might "choreograph" the surprise were brilliant. A moment we will never forget. In case you don't know it already, bagpipes make everything better!
-Tierah C.

Hospice performance The Bruce McCandles Veteran's Home at in Florence, Co on 4/5/2020

St. Patrick's Event at 1660 Lincoln St in Denver, Co on 3/12/2020

Our bagpiper did a wonderful job for us. We hired him to play his instrument for an hour during an event at one of our high rise office buildings in downtown Denver. He was professional, fun, engaging and did a wonderful job entertaining everyone in our building. I had many positive comments from tenants and they were happy that we provided entertainment and food and drink for them. This was our last event prior to the "stay at home" order for COVID 19 issued in Denver. Many people were happy that we didn't cancel and our bagpiper added much to the festivities. I will recommend him to others and will most likely use your service again. Thank you.

Michael is so easy to work with - music ideas and agenda leading up to the wedding. His music was perfect for our brunch reception.

Great price for his talent and I feel he was the perfect choice.
-Mary J.

Wedding at Devil's Thumb Mountain Ranch in Tabernash, Co on 1/25/2020

I wanted to reach out and thank you for playing at our wedding. The bagpipes were such a special moment and were homage to a tradition that JD's grandfather started when he surprised JD's parents with bagpipes at their own wedding! It added such a truly magical and nostalgic feeling to our ceremony, and I know we will look back on that moment for years to come. 
-Aubrey V.

Wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Co on 1/2/2020

When I was looking for a DJ for my wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch, I sent an inquiry to Michael and he didn't email me or send me a generic response. He called me that same day to explain his services and ask me how he could make our day great. Not only was I very impressed by his professionalism and how easy it was to complete a contract, but the quality of his services was OUTSTANDING. Micheal played acoustic guitar for our ceremony, including a custom rendition of "You are my Sunshine" for my walk, played bagpipes for our exit, and DJ'd our reception. He was on time and required no assistance from us. He even provided up-lighting for the ceremony space which was above and beyond what we expected. All of my guests told me over and over how great the music was and everyone was up and dancing from cocktail hour to the last song! Michael is a true musician and a rare find. I give him my highest recommendation!
-Danielle T.

-Caroline G.

Wedding at City Park in Denver, Co on 8/24/2019

Michael is as professional as they come. His long-time experience and knowledge of hosting events was on full display at our wedding this past week. He helped direct traffic, helped our staff make the transitions easier, provided additional ambient lighting, played exquisite live music, and used our setlist of songs to his full advantage while interjecting a few of his tried and tested selections. As soon as I have another DJing need, Michael will be my go to person of choice!

Thank you for bringing the party to our magical day :)
-Janae H.

Corporate Event at The Gaylord Event Center in Aurora, Co on 8/13/2019

Michael was wonderful to work with - quick responses during the planning process and arrived early for set-up.  He served as our DJ during our conference kick-off reception and got the tone just right. He began with fun background music to encourage networking and then made a flawless transition to the dance-party vibe we wanted to end the night. The dance floor was packed and he kept the crowd pumped. We also hired Michael to play background guitar music during a more intimate VIP reception another night, and we were very pleased. He played beautifully but completely understood that the event was intended to be a working function - so he kept the volume at the right level to be entertaining but not overpowering. We would work with Michael again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend his services - you'll be pleased!
-Kareena G.

Wedding at Lakewood Cultural Center in Lakewood, Co on 8/3/2019

Michael was very professional and accommodating. He truly made our night! He asked all of the right questions prior to our wedding to help him catch the vision we were hoping for and create the perfect night! Everything ran very smoothly and we attribute a lot of that to him. He truly made for a memorable day! As a DJ he kept our guests dancing all night! It was so special to have him play live guitar for the processional for our ceremony. It was a always a dream of mine to walk to acoustic Blackbird by the Beatles and he knocked it out of the park! He is timely and was very prepared. It was great to have his creativity & we would use his services again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Michael!

Michael was awesome and made our wedding day so special. We had a outdoor wedding and it rained and Michael had to move things around a lot but he did so with a smile on his face the whole time even though I know it wasn’t easy. He played guitar at the ceremony and did a beautiful job. He also did a great job at our reception with the dance and had our guest dancing from the first to the last song. The dance floor was full and we had a blast. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a musician or DJ for their special event!
-Kali C.

Wedding at Skyview at Fall River Estates in Estes Park, Co on 7/14/2019

The man that does it all
 Michael was the full package for us in that we requested guitar, bagpipes and DJ throughout our celebration. A fun guy to work with that was kept on his toes with our requests ( and also day of requests with International songs involved), which he navigated with ease. He performs very well on all platforms, and had our wedding party laughing, crying (bagpipes and guitar) and dancing all night. Such a great guy overall with no issues whatsoever. If you are looking for someone easy to work with, flexible, outgoing personality and does the job very well... then he is the guy for you. Quality all the way through.

Wedding at Heystack Heather in Niwot, Co on 7/7/2019

Very talented on multiple levels, while bringing a unique set of skills to any event. Thanks again Michael!

Michael was amazing! We had him as our bagpiper and DJ for our wedding and he made the whole day more amazing than we could've hoped for. He was so helpful and responsive in the time leading up to the wedding and really helped set the tone for the day. Everyone we talked to afterwards was saying how wonderful he was. He had everyone out on the dance floor and having a great time! Even better, he had my family's tartan as a kilt for the ceremony. If you are in need of a bagpiper or DJ for your wedding Michael truly is amazing.
-Johnny B.

Wedding Anniversary at Hotel Elegante in Colorado Springs, Co on 6/14/2019

Wedding at Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park, Co on 5/11/2019

Michael was our DJ and played classical guitar at our wedding. During our ceremony and during dinner Michael really set the tone by playing the guitar which was such a magical addition to our already perfect day, he was also a trooper because we were married outside with falling snow in about 20 degrees. We’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family remarking about how talented he is playing the guitar. In addition to his live music skills he was the exact DJ we were looking for and did a great job MCing and helping keep everything on schedule! We wanted to have a DJ who would keep the dance floor full all night long and he did not disappoint. He did an amazing job of playing music for each generation that we had at our wedding. Michael was so responsive and put any worries about the wedding at ease. He provided AV equipment during the ceremony and lighting at the reception. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for live music and a stellar DJ.
-Laura S.

Wedding at The Red Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park in Evergreen, Co on 5/5/2019

The bagpipes are what made our wedding special and different than most others. Our guests were telling us that the bagpipes sounded so good it gave them chills.

Couldn't recommend him more! Thank you Michael!
-Anna M.

Wedding at The Pioneer Club in Breckenridge, Co on 5/4/2019

Michael was absolutely wonderful, extremely professional, personable, and quick to respond to any of my questions. He played guitar for our vowel renewal ceremony/ reception, and exceeded our expectations. Not only did Michael play and sing unique songs that we had requested beautifully, he also coordinated with the other vendors at our event to keep everything organized and running smoothly. My husband and I really enjoyed hearing him play; our only regret is that we didn't have more time to really take in his amazing musical talents. We would hire him again in a heartbeat! Michael truly made our event memorable.
-Samantha G.

Birthday Event in Boulder, Co on 4/22/2019

We hired Michael to do a "singing telegram" for my son's 30 birthday at his place of business.  My son, and of course, all of his co-workers, were so surprised and happy with the bagpipe presentation. My son told me this was the best and most memorable surprise he has ever had, and it will be a happy memory forever. He called all of his friends to tell them how great it was. He knew a surprise was coming, but never guessed it would be bagpipes!
Nothing says I love you LOUDER than bagpipes!  Thank you Michael for such a wonderful job, and making the day so special!
-Sharon R.

Wedding at Bristlecone Inn in Estes Park, Co on 4/20/2019

Michael was amazing!!!!!!! I planned my wedding from another state and did not get to actually meet with Michael until I was about to walk down the aisle. He was amazing! He played the bagpipes for our ceremony and dj'd our reception and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. I also had a special request for my mother who had recently passed away - he played Tears in Heaven on his guitar and sang as well. Everyone loved him! You will not be disappointed!!

Wedding at The Greenbriar Inn in Boulder, Co on 4/5/2019

We always knew I to walk down the aisle to Duane Allman’s “Little Martha”, but we never thought we’d be able to find a guitarist that could recreate Duane’s singularly beautiful rendition, so we were initially resigned to playing a recording despite having a preference for live music. But then we came across Michael Lancaster in our search. From his website, Michael’s rendition more than matched Duane’s original.

We dug a little deeper to discover that Michael not only was an adept guitarist, but that, coincidentally, he had also been the bagpipe instructor to The Best Man when he was a kid growing up with the groom. So, we knew it was meant to be and booked Michael then and there for our wedding.

The pleasant surprise was just how much we appreciated Michael’s full repertoire in addition to Little Martha. He performed “Bron Yr Aur” for the rest of processional, but you could’ve been forgiven for thinking it was Jimmy Page plucking the strings (and the same goes for Eric Clapton’s “Signe” for the recessional). Then, Michael continued through the cocktail hour, song after song each more mellifluously beautiful than the last, providing the perfect ambient backdrop to the revelry we were all enjoying.

Michael’s contribution was not limited to his performance; he provided valuable technical equipment (lavalier and standing mics, speakers, etc.) that amplified both the ceremony and cocktail hour, all while helping us have one less thing to keep track of ourselves.

If you want the perfect soundtrack for your wedding, hiring Michael Lancaster is our highest recommendation.
-Aubree D.

His personality is kind, accommodating, professional and warm. I am so happy he was the soul of our party, he made it very memorable. I would recommend him to anyone!!

Wedding at the Sanctuary in Castle Pines, CO on 4/15/2017

The instant I booked Michael, I knew my wedding day would be unique and personal. He had the quickest response time out of all of my vendors and it was always a treat hearing from him with ideas about how to make my soundtrack my own. He provided sound equipment for his guitar, set for the reception, along with a mic for the officiant as well, which was extremely helpful. Walking down the aisle to the sound of bagpipes was magical. It was everything I had hoped for. Michael was also awesome with our guests, as everyone was eager to express their compliments, both for the pipes during the ceremony and the guitar during the reception. Having the guitar was perfect for our intimate lunch setting, as our guests didn't feel like they needed to fight the music to talk to each other (as they would have with a DJ). One of my guests even told me she forgot he was there and thought that we had been listening to a recording! Phenomenal, phenomenal talent and one of the most memorable aspects of our wedding day. Thank you, Michael!!

Michael arrived promptly to our ceremony and played a wonderful variety of songs, some chosen by us and others at his discretion. The ceremony was truly so beautiful with the added touch of the bagpipes.

We absolutely LOVE having Mr. Lancaster at our event! We've worked with him for this event for a few years now, and everyone always raves about how wonderful his music is. He's really the highlight of our event. He makes it super easy for us -- he brings all of his own equipment, and gets set up very quickly. He's always very friendly and cheerful, and a joy to be around. His music is just entrancing, and it really helps fill the space we have our event it. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Lancaster for any event where you need live, unobtrusive music. It's just always pleasant, and a really excellent experience.

-Lindsay M.

Wedding at Willow Ridge in Morrison, CO on 7/30/2016

Michael played guitar during the pre-ceremony / processional and bagpipes for the recessional at our wedding in July, 2016. He also provided equipment for our officiant and readers/singers during the ceremony. Needless to say it was all absolutely flawless! Being the bride, you dream of everything going perfectly, but of course, it rarely does. Having Michael work so professionally and courteously gave that aspect of our big day the perfection we hoped for. One thousand percent recommend!

The evening was so much fun that we are planning this as an annual event and be sure that Michael will be a part of our planning for years to come. I highly recommend him!
-Susan C.

-Andrea L.

Wedding at McC Ranch in Masonville, CO on 7/5/2015

As a family we found Michael pleasant and easy to work with. As a family we were very pleased with Michael's playing of the bagpipes and the guitar. It is more novel for most Coloradons to hear the bagpipes from someone dressed in full Scottish regalia! He played guitar during dinner and it created a nice ambience for all the diners. Michael made a significant contribution to my niece's wedding. The music at a wedding is crucial and we were a bit apprehensive. We ended up being very pleased. We would hire him again. Maybe when my other niece and my nephew get married! Thanks Michael.
-Marylin M.

Wedding at Arrowhead Country Club in Littleton, CO on 6/27/2015

Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to friends who want a great guitarist and/or bagpiper!!! We got tons of compliments!

We are happy to recommend him and will use his services whenever we can.
-Kristi T.

Wedding at Union Station in Denver, CO on 6/6/2015

Michael was a perfect addition to our wedding. he's fun and extremely talented. and as a last minute favor to us he hustled through bad traffic to make sure he could be there in time to play a wedding song for bride's entrance.

-Elaine E.

Wedding at the Lodge & Spa at Breckenridge, CO on 4/25/2015

Michael was amazing. I could definitely tell that he's very experienced with not only his instrumental skills, but his skills in planning and performing at live events. We had Michael play acoustic guitar for the majority of our wedding, then asked him to break out the bagpipes for our grand entrance into the reception room. It was a surprise for the attendees and everyone was completely blown away. We live in Illinois, so our Colorado wedding was a destination wedding. Michael was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond via e-mail. He also supplied the mics for our officiant and speakers. Long story short -- I would definitely recommend him.

We just got home and rested up and I wanted to get our thanks to you for an absolutely wonderful evening of music that you provided. 
I've heard comment after comment about your part in our event. Everyone has had wonderful comments about both your bagpipe 
and guitar music.  The bride and groom were thrilled with your bagpiping at the entrance, and your poem and finale were icing on the cake.  
Michael, I can't thank you enough!
-Claudia K.

Office Casual Event at 1800 Larimer St. Denver, CO 1/5/2015

Mr. Lancaster was simply wonderful at our event! It was pretty casual, and more of a walk-through type of event, but he played the guitar beautifully, and did a great job of filling the silence. When I was concerned with our outlets, he waited to plug stuff in until I could check, and he was very accommodating with me bugging him to make sure he was okay (I was very nervous!). If we ever have another event hosted by our company, Mr. Lancaster will absolutely be my first pick for a musician. He made the event really enjoyable! Everyone (from me, to guests, to the building manager (!)) was very impressed. It was just great! Can't say enough good things.
-Brittany E.


Wedding at Mary's Lake Lodge in Estes Park, CO 12/13/2014

St. Andrews Day at Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church in Loveland, CO on 11/30/2014

Every year St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church in Loveland Colorado celebrates St. Andrew's Day. At the end of the morning Liturgy Fr. Evan blesses the Tartans...but this year I had arranged a surprise with him.
After the blessing, the rear doors of the Church opened and Michael Lancaster began to play Amazing Grace followed by Highland Cathedral. The Scots, Greek, Russian, Chinese, German heritage people in the congregation loved it! (We embrace our diversity).
Mr. Lancaster was professional and patient (he had to wait on a cold day for the Priest to finish).
I couldn't be more pleased! The surprise was well received by all!

Bonnie J.

Corporate Event in Denver, CO 11/20/2014

Wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch in Tabernash, CO 7/26/2014

Michael played the bagpipes at our wedding up in the mountains this past July and it made our ceremony incredibly special. We actually had a DJ play music while the wedding party walked down the aisle, but as soon as the wedding party was standing at the alter, the music faded out and Michael started to play from a distance as I walked down the aisle with my father. It was a surprise to all of our guests, including my dad! The music gave everyone goosebumps (in a good way!) Michael then played all of the music for the recessional / postlude which was just lovely. From day one, Michael was very easy to work with and was open to any ideas that we had for the ceremony. He was prompt to respond to our emails and was on top of all of the details to ensure we were on the same page prior to our wedding day. If you want to add an unexpected and beautiful element to your wedding, I can't recommend Michael enough! I promise that you will not regret it :)
-Marissa L.

Michael was such an asset to our outdoor ceremony in Boulder, CO. Although we didn't actually meet him until the ceremony, he was so professional and really helped us pick the right music for our ceremony. He played acoustic guitar while people gathered before the ceremony, while I walked down the aisle, and during our cocktail party after. He did a fabulous job of becoming part of our ceremony rather than making himself and the music stand out. I would highly recommend him to anyone for any type of event. Thanks Michael!

Birthday Celebration at a Private Home in Breckenridge, CO 4/12/2104

Michael was awesome.  He provided three different types of music for my 50th birthday party.  We started with pipe music at streamside while guests arrived.  Next, Michael provided classical guitar music at dinner, then had piping happy birthday followed by a jolly jig then kicked it up a notch with vocals and more guitar to carry the party to a lively conclusion.   Michael was sensitive to the mood of room, and had a fabulous attitude.  I had many compliments on the music from my guests.  I hope I have another opportunity to hire Michael again in the future.  Many thanks!

Memorial Service at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Denver, CO 3/25/2014

Michael was quick to respond to my request. He was helpful with ideas on how best he would fit into my friend's memorial service. His website is easy and displays his music in a way that allows you to make easy decisions at a difficult time. Michael was clear in his communication and did exactly what he said he would do. He took time to know our situation, he showed up on time, his people skills were professional yet caring. It wasn't just a gig to him and that was appreciated. He showed great honor toward our lost friend, the music was perfect and he made the day special for all of us. Thanks Michael!
-Ree T.

Wedding at Washington Park Chapel in Denver, CO 2/22/2014

Michael Lancaster was amazing!! He showed up early on our wedding da and made sure everything was taken care of. I literally just got to enjoy him play the music without having to deal with running around organizing things. His customer service is great. He follows through and follows up and I even had a thank you email from him 2 hours after my event! His music was truly fantastic and I'm trying to figure out another event I can have where I can hire him again! Thank you Michael for helping in making our day so special!!

Michael was excellent. The look on the Bride's face when she heard his first note was priceless. He added so much to this special ceremony. We especially appreciated his flexibility while we worked through restrictions with the Academy chapel and his willingness to pose for pictures after the wedding. We highly recommend Michael for anyone looking for a premier bagpiper!

Funeral at St. James Catholic Church in Denver, CO on 11/8/2013

Sincere thanks to you for your wonderful bagpiping at my Mother's funeral last.  Your music was truly spectacular.  I received so many comments following the service. 

 "The bagpiper was fantastic." 
 "The bagpipe really made the service extra special." 
 " I've heard lots of folks play Amazing Grace on the pipes, but this fellow's playing was absolutely the best."

I myself greatly admired not only your elegant playing but the stately way in which you integrated the music with the march.  With deep appreciation from both my brother Mike and from me for all you did to give Mom a special sendoff.

My goal as an event coordinator is to get smiles on faces, Michael took it even further with tears of joy. The birthday girl was so moved by his bagpipes that she cried. His performance was the highlight of the evening, he was the perfect touch. Will definitely use him again.
-Roxene H.


Wedding not at Sunrise Amphitheater in Boulder, CO on 9/14/2013

If there was a more difficult week/weekend to have a wedding it was our wedding on 9-14. Our Venue, Sunrise amphitheater, was closed due to the flooding. We were able to make it work with 30hrs to the wedding. Michael was great. He made it to our last minute venue at my parents house. Even with the arbor i had made for my wife and I for the ceremony falling down and hitting him he still was able to play most beautifully. It of course rained and was windy but our ceremony was unbelievable and Michael made it unforgettable. Not only was he accommodating, Michael was a pretty rad Cat. I hope there is another event that we can use him for.
-Lucas K.

Wedding at Cheesman Park Pavilion in Denver, CO on 9/13/2013

Is there any place to have 6 stars? Michael was an ace when it came to communication, which was super important as this was for a destination wedding. When we were late and the other musician had to leave before the end, Michael came through and gave us our perfect wedding. In addition, he was a champ and handled our amplification needs for a very fair price. I cannot recommend Michael more. He is a total rock star and I cannot praise him enough for our perfect day.
-Synge M.

-Kirk R.

Wedding at Dunafon Castle in Evergreen, CO on 6/21/13

Michael was very easy to get a hold of. We hired Michael to play at our wedding. His website has a couple lists of songs - with and without vocals. From these I was able to come up with a playlist for our wedding ceremony. I did have a couple special requests. Special requests do cost extra - for the time it takes him to learn and practice the new songs. The extra was well worth it. I was able to walk down the aisle to an instrumental that I remember my grandmother playing and humming to when I was a little girl and Michael also accompanied a good friend of mine as she sang for us during our tree planting ceremony. I would hire Michael again for sure!
-Jessica R.

People were talking about your talent all night and Brian was blown away with how you managed to pull off the switch!  Thank you for working with me to surprise him with that.  If you ever need any references feel free to send people my way! 
-Ashley A.

He adored his Scottish heritage and we are so thankful to have you be a part of this celebration of his life.  May the lord always shine his light upon you and keep you always playing.  You are blessed with such a gift and talent.
-Angelia M.

Student in Denver, CO 1/20/2013

I initially contacted Michael  Lancaster to teach me to play the bagpipes as a surprise for my family at my grandparents' 70th wedding anniversary. I had about 9 months to become proficient in playing before the anniversary, a lofty goal that Michael enthusiastically embraced. With Michael's help, I reached that goal and successfully shocked my family with my piping skill. Michael has been an excellent teacher with a very comprehensive knowledge of music, exceptional performing skills, and a positive and encouraging approach. I would recommend him highly to anyone seeking lessons for bagpipes or guitar.
-Craig M.

Christmas Party at a private residence in Granby, CO on 12/31/2012

It was a great surprise for our guests to have a piper walk in on New Year's Eve playing a tune! So much fun! He was very personal, professional and answered many questions from the kids present. We all learned a ton about his instrument, outfit, songs, history, etc. It couldn't have been better! Thank you!
-Shelli D.


Memorial Service at Zion Lutheran in Albion, NE on 12/06/2012

We could not have been more pleased with you and your services. As soon as my brother got you on the phone and explained to you Dad was a WWII veteran, you were all in. I know you had a very big day of driving from Denver to Albion to do this but for that we will be eternally grateful.  We wanted to celebrate Dad’s life and his contributions to “The Greatest Generation” and you were able to take that over the top. Many people are talking about it and will be for years to come.  Once again words cannot express our thanks for what you did.
-David B.

Student in Denver, CO 12/05/2013

I don't know how to even begin to thank you for these last five and a half years.  Truly it has been a pleasure to study with you.  When I decided that I wanted to take lessons, I never imagined that I would come as far as I have today, and with you as a teacher I am not the least bet surprised.  Most of all, you really helped influence me to continue and pursue my music.  You gave me a great understanding of what it's like to go on to study music in college, and be a professional musician.  Through all of the advice you passed down, you helped me make my goals become realized.  You have a great understanding of those things, and you were keen to share them.  For that, I am highly grateful.  It has truly been a pleasure to study with you for all of these years.  I feel as though I am very lucky to have had that opportunity.  Once again, thank you!

Michael was very accommodating to our requests and worked with us to add the perfect music arrangement. As a bonus, he insisted that he stay after the ceremony to play the pipes and lead us in to our reception! Michael is very professional, organized, knowledgeable and a world class musician. Again, I would definitely recommend Michael Lancaster to anyone for any event!

Michael first made a positive impression on me by getting back to me almost immediately after I emailed my request .
